States and tribes

Now that many
tribes are aggressively asserting their sovereignty on issues
ranging from water rights to Indian gambling, cooperation between
tribal and state governments has become crucial. That's the
conclusion of States and Tribes: Building New Traditions, a recent
publication of the National Conference of State Legislators. The
report outlines some major conflicts about issues such as taxation,
gaming and environmental regulation and gives current examples of
states and tribal governments that have successfully resolved their
disputes. The 87-page report also brims with facts about Indian
Country and how tribal governments operate. A copy is $25 from the
National Conference on State Legislatures, 1560 Broadway, Suite
700, Denver, CO 80202 (303/830-2200).
